You are changing what it means to be powerful and successful in the world. For everyone. Forever.

You want The Big Life—that delicious cocktail of passion, career, work, ambition, respect, money and a monumental relationship. And you want it on your own terms.

As Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen for the better part of a decade, I have spent my career listening to and guiding a generation of young women who are now establishing their careers and building their lives. I am your biggest cheerleader.

And yet, now the stakes are high and your dreams, which should be closer than ever, can feel hopelessly out of reach. That’s where The Big Life comes in.

The mission of the book is to create a sisterhood of young women who are working through the trickiest bits of becoming who you’re meant to be—together.

The Big Life is an inspiring step-by-step guide to help you get the big career, life, love and happiness that you know you deserve.

“A guide for women in their 20s and 30s who are hungry for a job they love, a supportive network of friends, respect from their bosses and partners who want all those things for them as badly as they do…”
